1848

Handwritten notes made by Henry S. Baird, perhaps while he was acting as secretary at the council between the Menominee and the U.S. held at Lake Poygan in 1848. In the speech, Chief Oshkosh lists grievances of the tribe against the federal government, which had not fulfilled its obligations to the Menominee nation under the Treaty of 1836.
